Amid clamour to publicise the Socio-Economic and Education Survey (popularly called Caste Census) conducted by the Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes in 2015-2016, dominant caste groups are coming together to oppose the report, which is likely to be submitted in November this year. The report, even if submitted in November, according to government sources, is unlikely to be made public before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Commission Chairman Jayaprakash Hegde, whose tenure is set to end in November, told The Hindu that the commission will submit the report by November end, and that the final work on the report is currently under way. “All the data is ready and the preparation of a report/synopsis is currently being done. The report will be submitted in the end of November,” he said.
